2015 Nissan Juke vs Chevrolet Trax in Oxford, AL

Serving Anniston, AL

If you are looking for the space of an SUV, with the economy of a compact car, the 2015 Nissan Juke is the best answer. Benton Nissan of Oxford, AL has Nissan SUVs and crossovers in all sizes from compact Jukes to full-size Armadas, and we’re just down the road a bit if you like in Anniston or anywhere nearby.

The 2015 Chevy Trax is new, and also a compact crossover, but it just doesn’t offer as much for the money as the Juke.

Nissan Juke Power vs. Chevy Trax

These 2 crossovers are not all the difference in size, but the Juke comes with a whole lot more power as a standard feature. The base motor in the Juke is a turbo 1.6 liter 4 cylinder with 188hp, compared to the Trax turbo 1.4 liter with only 138hp. That extra power helps the Juke get from 0-60 nearly 3 seconds faster than the Trax.

The front wheel drive Trax gets just 26 city, though it does get slightly better on the highway with 34 mpg, with all-wheel drive it is rated at 24 city/31 highway.
